Harbledown Lodge Nursing Home

My mother-in-law was comfortable and happy here, particularly enjoying the fun and well-run daily activities. We cannot thank you enough. Well done!

I feel incredibly lucky that my mum was sent to Harbledown Lodge to rehabilitate after an extended stay in hospital. The staff without exception were kind, caring and unwaveringly cheerful. The nursing care my mother required was dealt with professionalism and there was one particular nurse who took considerable pride in his work to heal my mother. The management team were also always welcoming and very understanding when any problems arose. My mother spent 14 weeks at the home in a nice big room with a lovely view and a large television. When the weather was extremely hot over the summer the management put in air conditioning units in some areas and supplied a large fan in mothers' room which was very welcome. Overall, as a family we were very happy with Harbledown Lodge and all the staff.

My mother was at Harbledown Lodge for the last few weeks of her life and I'm so glad she spent them there. It is clearly very well-managed and Sreeja the manager always made time to talk to me, and my siblings and I were kept updated of any changes to Mum's condition. I'm so pleased that the staff enabled Mum to attend the home's annual garden party in their grounds not long before she passed away.

All the staff were so cheerful, caring and compassionate towards Mum. They also knew my name and were always keen to help. The nurses were lovely and kind with her and the catering staff always took the time to speak cheerfully to her. When Mum passed away, I was treated with compassion and kindness.

Mum's room was comfortable with good facilities and the grounds are lovely.

I'd like to thank everyone at the home for their excellent care in Mum's last weeks and for making a very difficult time more bearable for me.

We were all so impressed with the care that my elderly mother received at Harbledown lodge. All the staff, managers, nurses, cleaners, cooks, carers, everyone was so friendly and caring. I felt that my mother was in a good place and I couldn't have asked for more. I fully recommend Harbledown lodge based on our experience.

My mother is currently residing at Harbledown Lodge for the second time. The nursing and care staff are attentive and friendly, taking into account my mother's many medical and care needs. The management have also been excellent in keeping me informed of her ever changing health conditions. Many thanks to you all.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you from my family and I for taking wonderful care of my grandad George until the very end. Even in his passing yesterday, you showed true care and compassion. You even looked after us as we stayed with him in his final days. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Harbledown Lodge

I have always been happy here. The staff are always very professional, and they treat us with dignity and respect. I enjoy all of the activities, very happy.

My mum recently moved in with full time, because of the progression of Vascular/Alzheimers Dementia and also because of limited mobility to her hip via Osteoarthritis. She was previously extremely independent/sociable and her moving in with us had not been particularly straightforward. Been looking for some respite care over Christmas. I was really anxious/guilty about this, since it would be her first time away from our care. Delighted to say that it worked very smoothly and she had clearly enjoyed her stay. Very thorough registration/induction process, particularly in terms of her meds as well as asking her the activities and foods that she liked. All handled by Centre Manager. Care staff I met and observed were very attentive and caring. It's really lovely building with great views. One thing that I picked up on was that carers has taken time to apply cream for dry skin which they could have easily skipped on without anyone noticing. Hoping to come again.

The level of care, dignity and respect given to my mum and us as extended family was outstanding in her final weeks. Staff and those leading the home could not have provided anymore; they went above and beyond.

I always receive a warm welcome when I arrive to visit. The home is spotlessly clean. The staff are friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. The food looks amazing, and Mum has a varied diet.

During her two weeks at Harbledown Lodge, my mother was treated with kindness and respect, and her clear wishes were meticulously adhered to. She was comfortable and, as far as possible, pain-free during her last days. The staff were accessible and informative, and, above all, considerate.

The food is always very goo,d and my mum seems most of the time very happy. I would like to see my mum out of bed more and encouraged to do some activities when they are available, also, I know there are staffing issues. It would be nice as well if there was a tea room for visitors to use, as some people travel hours to get there, and this would save the nurses time.

I cannot emphasise enough how fantastic the care offered at Harbledown Lodge is. They go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure every resident is happy.

Room not seen, only lounge. Overall security good.

My best friend unfortunately now has to be cared for in a care home and I have now been visiting him every week for the past few months. It is so nice to see him being well cared for and on my visits I find the staff so caring having lots of time for the residents. The home is clean and the quality of the food looks very good with my friend saying how much he enjoys it. Whenever I visit I am welcomed warmly in a very friendly way and my friend seems to be so happy there and enjoys his interaction with the staff.

Mum was only at Harbledown Lodge for a few weeks but the nursing staff were so helpful & supportive during her brief time. Thank you all for looking after her and me when she passed away.

Mum spent four happy years at Harbledown Lodge. The care and support she received was from a loving, dedicated staff, and my family and I will be forever grateful for this, sadly, right up to the day she passed away.

During her final days of life, she was made comfortable and assured regularly. The family were supported and felt respected at all times. She always felt loved and safe. We are most grateful to everyone who was involved in her care.

My wife has settled in very quickly and is happy at Harbledown Lodge.

Very happy with my dad's care. All of the staff and management are very kind and approchable. My dad seems so much happier since he has been here. Myself and my family want to say a big thank you for taking care of my dad.
